feat(oauth2): add jitter to access token lifetime on refresh_token grant - #172
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Tokens issued by the refresh_token grant now get lifetime - random_int(0, OAuth2.AccessToken.RefreshJitter), so clients that refresh in the same minute spread out instead of hitting /oauth2/token in synchronized bursts. The jittered value feeds expires_in, the access token DB row and the Redis TTL. Other grants are unchanged. The jitter defaults to 720s (server.OAuth2_AccessToken_RefreshJitter), is clamped so the issued lifetime stays >= 60s and <= the configured lifetime, and is editable from the admin server-config screen (0 disables).

- Line 612: Update TokenService::getAccessToken to preserve the refreshed
access-token lifetime from the payload before overwriting payload['lifetime']
for AuthorizationCode::load, then use the preserved value when loading the
access token. Add coverage verifying that a jitter-shortened refreshed token
retains its stored lifetime when retrieved through getAccessToken.
Review comments at @tests/OAuth2ProtocolTest.php:
- Line 794: Update the TTL assertion in the refresh-request test to account for
time elapsed since Redis received the token’s TTL: measure elapsed time and
adjust the expected lower bound, or assert each TTL immediately after its
refresh. Preserve the check that Redis received the correct expiration.

The redis ttl starts counting down as soon as the access token is stored, so reading it only after all five refreshes made the 5s lower bound depend on how long the remaining refreshes took. Run the DB lifetime and ttl checks in a per-refresh callback instead.
TokenService::getAccessToken rebuilt the token with the configured OAuth2.AccessToken.Lifetime instead of the lifetime it was issued with, which is already present on the redis hash and on DB. Access tokens issued by the refresh_token grant now carry a jittered lifetime, so introspection reported a remaining lifetime up to the jitter longer than the real one and resource servers that cache the introspection result (summit-api) kept accepting the token after the IDP had expired it. Use the stored lifetime when reloading the token and assert on the test that introspection expires_in matches the refresh response.

With a configured lifetime 40s above MinRefreshedAccessTokenLifetime and a 720s jitter the issued lifetime stays within [60, lifetime]; with the lifetime at the floor the jitter is disabled and the lifetime is issued unchanged.

openstack-uicore-foundation subtracts a 60s skew from expires_in before deciding to refresh, so a jittered lifetime at the previous 60s floor would have made summit-admin and event-site refresh on every API call. Keep the floor well above that skew; the clamp test follows the constant.

Summary
Access tokens issued by the
refresh_tokengrant now getlifetime - random_int(0, jitter)instead of a fixed lifetime, so a cohort of clients that refreshes in the same minute drifts apart after one cycle and the ~2h bursts onPOST /oauth2/tokenstop re-forming (up to 565 req/min vs a median of 4, php-fpm queue 122, 268 nginx 499s on 2026-10-07).OAuth2.AccessToken.RefreshJitter(seconds, default720viaserver.OAuth2_AccessToken_RefreshJitter;0disables).TokenService::createAccessTokenFromRefreshTokendraws the value once, soexpires_in, theAccessTokenDBlifetime and the Redis TTL stay identical. The reduction is clamped so the issued lifetime is never above the configured lifetime nor below 300s (TokenService::MinRefreshedAccessTokenLifetime). The floor stays well above the 60s skewopenstack-uicore-foundationsubtracts fromexpires_inbefore refreshing, so summit-admin and event-site never end up refreshing on every request.TokenService::getAccessTokenreloads the token with the lifetime stored on the Redis hash instead of the configuredOAuth2.AccessToken.Lifetime. Without this,/oauth2/token/introspectionreported a remaining lifetime up tojitterseconds longer than the real one for refreshed tokens, and resource servers that cache the introspection result (summit-api, 3600s in prod) kept accepting the token after the IDP had expired it./admin/server-confignext to the other OAuth2 lifetimes (required|integer|min:0).Cost: refreshed tokens live on average
jitter/2less, about 5% more refreshes at the 7200s prod lifetime (about 11% at the 3600s code default). Tokens issued before deploy keep their old lifetime, so the first cycle after release is still synchronized.Tests
